Dr. Anand Dharaskar, Consultant- Urology, Manipal Hospital- Baner, Pune says, “Women can develop kidney stones, which are small, hard deposits that form in the kidneys. Factors such as hormonal changes, dietary habits, and genetic predisposition can contribute to kidney stone formation. Symptoms may include severe pain in the back or abdomen, blood in the urine, and frequent urination. Drinking plenty of water, maintaining a healthy diet, and managing underlying conditions like obesity and diabetes can help reduce the risk of kidney stones.”
